1H NMR is an excellent tool for monitoring the residual olefin content of polymers after hydrogenation reactions. The fact that the olefin fall in a unique region of the spectrum means that it is a straightforward measurement to quantify the %H present as olefin or to correlate that olefin content with other analyses such as […]

Back in October we presented a talk at Gulf Coast Conference that concerned the prediction of the chemical and physical properties of heavy petroleum feeds being converted to higher value product in a residual catalytic cracker (RCC). Over the years we have analyzed these materials by 300 and 60 MHz NMR and obtained good PLS-regression […]

Adam DiCaprio (ex PNA) gave an excellent Science Cafe Talk under the auspices of the ACS North Carolina Section at the Busy Bee Cafe in downtown Raleigh on December 2, 2014. CHanging gears from his previous talks he centered the discussion on malt and hop chemistry as well as an start-to-finish NMR analysis of production […]

I was just asked by Roberto Gil (Carnegie Mellon) to pull together a special issue if Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry” on the topic of Benchtop NMR. I will personally be hitting up everyone I know who is working in this area to provide technical papers on their work in this area. I also wanted to […]

The 2nd Annual Practical Applications of NMR in Industry Conference (PANIC) will be held February 3-5 in Charlotte, NC. An excellent scientific agenda has been put together (see here). The Brochure is available here. Take note of the early registration (January 10, 2014) and poster submission (December 20, 2013) deadlines. John Edwards of Process NMR […]

At the recent ACS NERM 2013 meeting in New Haven CT, John Edwards gave a talk on the comparison of 60 and 300 MHz 1H NMR based predictive models for EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acid content in a fish oil manufacturing process. The presentation can be found here….. PDF Presentation Note – spectra are […]

Conference Details: 2nd Annual Practical Applications of NMR in Industry Conference Organized by Cambridge Healthtech Institute Hilton Charlotte University Place, Charlotte, NC, February 3-5, 2014 Building on the success of last years 1st Annual PANIC NMR Conference it has been decided that the 2nd Annual PANIC NMR Conference would be organized cooperatively between the original […]

Pfizer has included the Aspect-60 MHz NMR system in their reaction monitoring investigations. The analysis was performed on reactions that were monitored in parallel by a Bruker 400 MHz NMR system. The poster of the initial results will be presented by Dr David Foley of Pfizer at this weeks PittCon in Philadelphia. The presentation is […]

News – John Edwards of Process NMR Associates will be presenting the following 3 posters at SMASH NMR Conference, Providence RI, September 9-12, 2012. Process NMR Associates will also have a vendor table where John will be available to discuss the exciting range of high and low resolution permanent magnet NMR products available through the […]

The data analysis capabilities of the MestReNova NMR software makes processing and analyzing complex reaction mixture data a snap! Stacked plots are quick and easy and the integration routines rapidly process the peak areas into reaction profiles. Further steps allow the exponential fitting of the reaction profiles to yield kinetic information. Here are a few […]
